vCenter Upgrade w/ Linked Mode

Guys.

I have two vCenter servers currently running at 5.1 and 5.1U1 setup in linked mode. I am planning to upgrade both to 5.5b and want to make sure I understand the process in regards to linked mode. I am under the impression that I will break the linked mode connection before beginning and then separately upgrade each vCenter instance. Do I need to indicate anything during the primary site upgrade? I assume I will have an opportunity during the install of the secondary site to indicate this will be a linked mode connection? Or does this connection come after both instances have been setup. Thanks guys.

Closing this out, my answer it to remove the link between VC's and then perform upgrades using multiple single sign-on instances in different locations and after both sites are upgraded link them back with the configuration utility.
